Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is the main sett of a barred-blanket tartan pattern appearing in the Wilsons of Bannockburn Key Pattern Book of 1819. It is often called an arisaid (earasaid) pattern, because the blanket patterns are generally believed to have been adapted from patterns originally used for arisaids, but there is no evidence this particular pattern dates back to the 16th- to early-18th-century wearing of arisaids, or was ever historically used for other than blankets, curtains, and other household cloths. This sett is only part of the whole blanket pattern; it was paired with a border selvedge pattern on two sides of the cloth, and that pattern is available separately in the same category here on Commons, and also shown in combined form.

This version of the image is not exactly full-sett, and cannot tile horizontally or vertically; it is a broad zoom out to give a better view of the pattern as a piece of cloth and to compare well with other tartan images given similar treatement.

Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this design: "Wilson 1819 KPB. Blanket sett. Sample in Scottish Tartans Authority's Scarlett Collection. See #6331 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) for the border of this blanket. JDS [James D. Scarlett] says that many early researchers mistook the border pattern for part of the sett which caused quite a bit of confusion. See #6383 (original Scottish Tartans Authority reference) for mistaken double entry of this pattern based on a 1939 reweave in Killin Perthshire of what was alleged to be a 17th C unknown tartan." See the selvedge border sett of the blanket (elsewhere in Category:Wilsons 1819 blanket tartans) for additional notes.
